Love In Tragedy
Chapter 47. Erick's Rage.

" Thank you aunt. But we better go somewhere else. "

Yoga only fell silent, even though in his heart he did not want to let Biqha go with Erick. But he was helpless in the midst of his parents and future in-laws.

" Why should we find somewhere else? Eat with us here, so we can chat for a while. "

Om Haris approached after ending his chatter on the phone with someone.

" Oya. om also just talked to your dad on the phone. Looks like your problems haven't been solved either ? To the extent that he immediately wanted to end our conversation, as soon as he heard om greet you earlier."

The words of om Haris suddenly made Erick's expression turn fierce. He knows where Haris talks next. Even papa Adi and mama Hani as well as Yoga and Alina herself, simultaneously looked towards the papi Alina.

" Father......" Alina said along with her mom.

" Sorry.... Papi doesn't want to interfere with their family matters. Papi just regretted it. "he explained to his wife and child.

" In fact, Atmadja Corp's business is growing rapidly, after the breakthrough you made Rick. You are truly brilliant in business. Om was very impressed with your performance." he switched to Erick.

Instead of being flattered by the praise given by Om Haris, Erik just looked coldly at him .

" I don't know what the problem is between you. But I deeply regret your attitude, which chose to leave all and choose life as an ordinary manager. Oh yeah Rik, do you know? A few days ago, you were hospitalized for exhaustion. "

Spotlight Erick's eyes instantly changed. There was a sense of shock at the news, there was also a feeling of anxiety. No matter how hard the father was on him, he was still a father that Erick respected and deep in his heart Erick also loved the father.

" He was so troubled after your departure. Don't you feel sorry for the old man? If you can give advice, go home....! Don't follow your ego. "

Erick lowered his head and threw away his gaze for a moment, taking a deep breath. Irritatedly he was still trying to hold back his emotions. Biqha who was next to him but a little backward, saw clearly the look on her face that held back anger.

Biqha stretches her hand squeezing the inside side of Erick's shirt sleeve. Slowly she stroked the inside of Erick's arm. Erick glanced at Biqha, from the look in Biqha's eyes and his small touch, Erick understood Biqha was trying to calm him down and asked him to be patient. Then with his right hand still down, Biqha gave a signal to Erick.

' Let's go '

Erick nodded his head at Biqha. But before Erick had time to say goodbye, papi Alina again provoked his emotions.

" By the way..who is she? She's your girlfriend? "

Almost everyone there was surprised by Haris's question. Especially Yoga, he immediately glared at his future father-in-law. Erick stared fixedly at the middle-aged man. And Biqha who flinched, immediately shook her head.

" Is he the reason behind your vehemently opposing attitude towards your father, and eventually abandoning everything you have, even your own family? "

" Father....." Alina tried to give a strong warning.

Erick looked intently at his friend's future-in-law. But he still tried to hold back his anger. But not with Yoga, whose heart is now burning with the words of his future father-in-law.

" That's not true. Biqha is not Erick's girlfriend. But he is......"

" He's been their best friend since High School. "

Quickly papa Adi cuts off the greeting Yoga. Then looked at her intimidatedly for Yoga to silence her mouth. Yoga was so upset, that it threw away the face of the father with an annoyed grunt. Repeatedly breathing rapidly due to emotion, until his burly chest was seen rising and falling.

" Yes that's right Haris. This Nabiqha is just their friend"." added mama Hani.

" coincidentally a few months ago, he just joined our company as an accouting staff, under the leadership of Erick at the office" continued papa Adi.

" Oh..... I think they have a special relationship. Because from then on they look friendly and continue to hold hands. "

Yoga raised his head and immediately turned his head, focusing his hand towards Biqha and Erick. His eyes were perfectly rounded and flushed with jealousy, seeing Biqha had just pulled her hand from Erick's arm.

Previously no one was aware of it other than Papi Alina, as Biqha stood slightly back. Until the left side of his body was slightly covered by Erick's burly body. But after hearing the words of Papi Alina, all eyes were now watching them.

" ah.... That's... It's not like that. They were close since. They loved helping this girl, for her lack of it. Not because I have any special feelings for him. How could Erick release the near-perfect beautiful daughter of a high-ranking official in this country, for the sake of a deaf and stuttered girl like her."

Sontak Yoga again raised his head, looking up at the father. Then it turned to Biqha, who looked down miserably. His heart was like it was pierced to see Biqha hurt because of the words of the father. Things that are not much different are done by Alina. She was concerned to see Biqha being scorned by her future father-in-law.

While Erick, his gaze was sharp and straight forward. Although not focusing on anything, but a flash of anger was very clear in his eyes. Papa Adi's words have pecked the emotions that he had been trying to hold back.

" What...? So he has a problem with....."

Om Haris spoke in half whisper, pointing by turning his index finger in the ear area to clarify his point. Papa Adi nodded with a slight smile. Then Haris also carved a smile, before finally starting to talk again with Erick.

" Oh.... Excuse me.... I'm sorry about Erick. Om really doesn't know. Om had mistaken her for your lover. Because I see she's pretty. Thank goodness she's not your boyfriend, because if you know you're close to a girl....."

" Gut and tu*i."

Connect Erick quickly complete the sentence you want Haris to say. She firmly said that with a still unfocused look. Then with sharp and piercing, the look in his eyes turned to om Haris, then moved on to his best friend's father. While Biqha looked at him sadly and in disbelief, Erick said so.

" Why is he stuttering and tu*i? Do you think you're more perfect than him? "

Erick's words were so cold and piercing, that all fell silent. While Biqha was surprised by his words. He did not expect it turned out that behind Erick's harsh words about him, precisely Erick intended to defend him. Biqha was impressed and looked at him with haru.

" Having physical perfection cannot guarantee a person also has maturity and good morals. This friend of mine does have physical flaws that you laugh at..... But behind that, she had many advantages that no other woman had."

Erick continued with a cold and firm attitude, making Alina and her mom and Mama Hani feel bad for Biqha. But not with the two middle-aged men in front of Erick, they actually felt offended by his words.

" What do you mean say that Rick? What did your fiancee do before, until you could say that? "

" And what made you so interested in my personal problems? Is it because the news about me sells so much? Or do you want to use my privacy as a weapon to pressure my father, so that he will cooperate and invest in the project that your son is running? "

" Erick keep talking !"

Om Adi gave a stern warning to Erick, who began to say harshly and vent his emotions. As a person who was close enough to Erick since childhood, om Adi felt the need to reprimand Erick who had crossed the line.

" Why om? Because I'm younger and you're old, so I can't talk? While you can express your opinions as you please, right?! Where is your social intelligence as an educated person? Who claim to be respectable, but in fact forget to respect each other."

Erick denied Adi with poignant words, making the two middle-aged men stare intently at him. Seeing the atmosphere getting heated up, Biqha again pulled the Erick shirt sleeve from behind. When Erick turned his head towards her, Biqha shook her head slowly with sullen eyes.

" Rick I'm sorry. Please forgive papi's attitude. I'm really sorry Rick... Biql.... I'm guilty of you. I shouldn't have brought you here. But I really don't know if they're coming here too. "

Alina who was increasingly feeling guilty, after seeing Erick's anger and heated atmosphere, tried to calm the situation. But Yoga, who had been very upset, finally took advantage of Alina's guilt to put pressure on her again.

" Yes.... It's all your fault. "

" Dear...why do you talk to your fiancee like that? "

" This is all his fault. "

Seeing Yoga speaking harshly to Alina, Biqha ventured to open her voice.

" Thidna. Mbhakh Halhin shamha shekhali ghak shalhah. Ghak hadha yhang shalhah dhi shinhi. Hanyha whakthu and shithuwashinyha yhang thidhak thephat. Mhahaf shudhah mherhushak hacharha khelhuwargha. Shayha phermhishi's. "

(No. Madam Alin is not wrong. There's nothing wrong here. Only time and circumstances are not right. Sorry for ruining this family event. Excuse me. )

" No Bi.... Why are you the one apologizing. You're not wrong. "

Yoga tried to block Biqha, who wanted to turn around and get out of the room. Making papa Adi directly glare at him, and mama Hani immediately pulled his arm.

" Biqha. Because our level is not as high as yours, we don't deserve to be here. So we'll excuse you.... Come Bi. "

Erick immediately pulled Biqha's wrist, then carried her away. At once Yoga also wanted to rush away to catch up with them, but again the father stopped him.

" Where are you going? "

" I have to talk to Erick and Biqha pa. "

" You can talk to them anytime in the office after this. So you don't have to chase them."

" But pa.... "

" enough. Don't make trouble again Prayoga Hermawan ! Had enough. "

****

As soon as he entered the car, Erick did not immediately start the engine. Erick took a deep breath to relieve his heart that felt tight due to emotions. If not for thinking about Biqha, it feels like Erick still wants to argue with those who have offended his personal problems.

After a few seconds of closing his eyes, Erick finally turned to Biqha.

" Where do you want to eat now, Bi ? "

" Khitha charhi mhakhan dhidhekhat shinhi hajha. Why khitha thenghal shedhikhit khan?! " (We're just looking for food nearby. We have a little time, right?! )

" Are you going to eat here? We can eat downstairs. Or book another private room. "

Biqha shook her head slowly.

" Lhebhih bhahik khitha charhi themphat mhakhan lhain yhang bhihasha-bhihasha hajha. Dharhiphadha habhishin huwhang bhuwat mhakhan dhithemphat mhewhah khayhak ghinhi. " (we better find another mediocre place. Instead of spending money to eat in a luxurious place like gini.)

" It's not about Bi's money. If I just eat, I can. "

Suddenly Erick raised his voice at Biqha. Until Biqha was surprised and afraid to see the light of Erick's eyes. But when he saw Biqha's face in shock, Erick realized he had made a mistake by venting his anger on Biqha.

Biqha's words earlier offended her a little. Because previously om Haris also seemed to demean him, which is now only a manager in the company of his son-in-law. Even the man became one of the investors there.

Erick turned his face away from Biqha for a moment, trying to calm himself down.

" Hakhu thahu khamhu. Shamphe shekharhang khalhau dhibhandhingkhan dhenghankhu, khamhu mhashih thethap orhang khayha. Hakhu chumha ghak mhahu, khamhu khethemhu shamha shamha orhang yhang mhungkhin mhengenhalmhu shampoo. Kharnha hithu phasrhi hakhan mhembhuhatmhu ghak nyhamhan khan?! "

(I know you are capable. Now compared to me, you are still a rich man. I just don't want to, until you meet again the same people who might know you. Because it will make you uncomfortable, right?! )

Said Biqha who was trying to understand Erick's emotions, even though she didn't know the real problem.

" Sory Bi's..... I didn't mean to yank you earlier. I still have emotions about that. "

Biqha nodded her head. After that Erick starts the engine of his car and drives it away from there. On the way there was no more conversation between them. Both Erick and Biqha were busy with their own thoughts.

Biqha occasionally glanced at Erick who was focused on driving with the look of his eyes, which were still shrouded in emotion. Biqha understood that today's events really affected Erick's emotions, so Biqha did not want to disturb him.
